pragmatix Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 After 15 years of Mondeo ownership, all having done over 175k 2 of them having done 235k, it's time to say goodbye, mainly due to movement problems the Mondeo is getting too hard to get into, I've gone and ordered a Grand CMax 1.5 Tdci in deep impact blue, got a good deal and all the toys,so staying with Ford and will be still sticking my nose in here. im feeling a little sad, love the Mondeo almost trouble free motoring. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how come so many of the new modern Ford's show similar problems as Citreon/Peugeot n Renault ? The Volvo in modern Mondeo's is what l learned but not in others but have noticed lots of complaints about the modern Ford's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
